HD Install :: Grub instead of Lilo

0.93
I don't know if the device name is necessary...it was extended from what was already in the file.

Also, i don't think my xfree line works, if i remember correctly. I never finished configuring that one. I think it should be mydsl=hda1 instead of base.

I was able to boot into DSL using SU's tutorial in the talk nodes. I ran the grub.dsl but when I preform grub-install /dev/hda i get the error: :Not found or not a block device. I know absolutely nothing about grub or lilo, but grub was able to load the mydsl packages during boot that are in a differente partition than the DSL image. Is there a way for me to install the files by hand?

Thanks,
Louis

OK, so I have managed to choose between Ubuntu and DSL at boot (HDInstall version), but now DSL won't startx. I get the message that a "peer has changed permissions" and to "check xsetup.sh" and it kicks me back to the command line.

I suspect that it might have something to do with having to use fb1024x768 boot option, but even when I add that option to grub - nothing.

I have tried root and dsl logins to no avail.

Any ideas???

We did the hard drive install of DSL 1.0.1 which included installing the Lilo boot loader. We would prefer to use Grub instead. We downloaded Grub from apt-get but can't find a way to make it repalce Lilo. Can this be easily done without creating problems? If not, how do we get into Lilo to edit it?
